2002 Cadillac Escalade EXT. This car belonged to my father, who recently passed away. He was the original owner. It is from California and has a clean title. Registered until April 20, 2015. I will try my best to describe this vehicle in words, however I want you to inspect it before purchasing. I'm not sure if it's RWD or AWD so if you ask me to look for something that will let you know which one it is, I will be happy to do so.

The plusses. It has 55,000 original miles and runs and drives perfectly. Tires are in good shape. The ones in the front seem newer.

The minuses. My father was a Ham Radio enthusiast and as a result, had antennas installed all around the vehicle. Some of the installation screws were mounted on the body and tonneau cover (see pics). I am not well versed in what kind of equipment was installed and was not able to get any of it to operate. There was an extra battery mounted inside the vehicle at one point which is no longer there. Cables have been insulated with electrical tape. I recall the air conditioning working when I first obtained the vehicle. Since then, I have not been able to get it to work.

It has not been detailed in a while. The carpets are dirty. Seats are in good shape- a little wear on the driver side seat but not torn. Headliner is good. The cloth part that slides to expose the moonroof is a bit loose, but not bad. There is lettering on the back which can be easily removed. Apparently, some minor body work was performed on various places on the vehicle and I believe he painted this himself with a similar color but it was not professionally done.

I am trying to describe this vehicle to a fault and would rather paint a bleaker picture of it than what it is. Actually, it looks better than I am describing it, but your opinion is the one that matters.

Please ask any and all questions before bidding. The car is currently in Arcadia, CA (15 mi. NE of downtown Los Angeles). BUYER MUST PICK UP VEHICLE within 48 hours of auction end, as this is being stored in my friend's house.

Thanks for looking.

Liberace's gilded Cadillac could be yours

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

With their chrome grilles and oversized wheels, it's hard not to notice a Cadillac these days. But this one is even more blingtastic on account of the 23.75-karat gold-leaf bodywork.
The 1931 Cadillac Golfer's Drop Head Coupé is said to have belonged to the inimitable performer Liberace, who didn't just have it covered in gold - he also had the exterior door handles plated in silver and the inside handles in 24-karat gold as well. It's also got a white leather interior and headlights that - well ahead of their time (if you'll pardon us, Mr. Tucker) - pivot with the steering wheel. All that bling is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 mated to a three-speed automatic transmission that pales in comparison to the seven, eight and even nine-speed gearboxes appearing on luxury sedans today.
The project was undertaken over the course of three years in the 1970s by one Jack Smith from Kansas. Smith (if that was his real name) sold it at auction in 1975, and it was most recently displayed for 12 years at a museum in Germany which claimed it was Liberace's own. The car is now going up for sale by Barons' at the Sandown Park horse racing track in Surrey, England, on September 17, when bidding starts at 85,000 pounds - equivalent to over $130,000 at today's rates.

Mercedes leads in US luxury car thefts

Wed, 31 Jul 2013

Mercedes-Benz makes some fine automobiles. The Silver Arrow'd cars are so good, apparently, that thieves can't help but try to steal them. The German brand is at the top of the charts for luxury car thefts in the US, according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau, with New York City leading the way. (And those New Yorkers complain about Detroit being bad!)
The C-Class was the most stolen model, with 485 ganked between 2009 and 2012 in NYC alone, while the E-Class and S-Class (which also boasted the worst recovery rate, at 59 percent) both finished in the top ten. Following the C-Class was the BMW 3 Series and Infiniti G. Not surprisingly, each of these were the most common models in their respective lineups. Los Angeles and Miami are also prime hotspots for luxury car thefts, according to the Detroit News report.
While getting your car stolen is pretty awful, there was one inspiring statistic compiled by the NICB - the average recovery rate across the board was 84 percent, with the Cadillac CTS getting recovered 91 percent of the time.

2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere

Sun, 24 Mar 2013

The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
